Local attorneys for Glendale injury cases
We represent people hurt in crashes on the Ventura (134), Glendale (2), and Golden State (5) freeways, and on busy city streets like Brand Boulevard, Glendale Avenue, Colorado Street, and Glenoaks Boulevard. Heavy foot traffic around the Americana at Brand and the Glendale Galleria also makes pedestrian accidents a real risk.
Being nearby matters. We can get to the scene, find witnesses, and request reports while the evidence is still fresh, and we know how Los Angeles County courts and the insurers that operate here handle injury claims.
Led by Alex Sarajian, a former Farmers Insurance adjuster, our team has represented injured people in Glendale and across Los Angeles County since 2007.

Glendale injury questions
Why hire an injury attorney near Glendale?
A nearby firm can move quickly to preserve evidence, visit the scene, and track down witnesses. Our Burbank office is a short drive from Glendale, and our attorneys regularly handle cases in Los Angeles County courts.
Who investigates car accidents in Glendale?
The Glendale Police Department generally handles collisions on city streets, while the California Highway Patrol handles collisions on freeways, including the 134, 2, and 5. The police report is important evidence, and we can request it for you.
I was hit by a Glendale Beeline bus or a city vehicle. What should I do?
Claims against a city, county, or transit agency follow special rules. A written government claim is generally due within six months of the injury, much sooner than the usual two-year deadline. Contact us as soon as possible so the deadline is not missed.
How much does it cost to hire LA Injury Attorneys?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, which means our fee comes from the compensation we recover for you. If we don’t recover anything, you owe no attorney fee. We explain fees and costs in writing before you sign anything.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Most California personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury. Claims against government agencies have a much shorter six-month deadline. Evidence also fades quickly, so it is best to talk to a lawyer early.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Under California’s pure comparative fault rule, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. Insurers often overstate how much a driver was at fault, so have your case reviewed before accepting their version.
Do you handle Uber, Lyft, and taxi accidents in Glendale?
Yes. Rideshare and taxi cases often involve several insurance policies, and which one pays can depend on whether the driver’s app was on. We sort out which coverage applies and pursue every source of compensation available.
How long will my Glendale case take?
It depends on your injuries, how long your treatment lasts, and how willing the insurer is to pay fairly. Many cases settle after treatment is complete. If an insurer won’t make a fair offer, we are prepared to take the case to trial, which takes longer.
Do you have Spanish-speaking attorneys?
Yes. We have bilingual attorneys and office staff who can help you in Spanish from your first call. Hablamos español.
